Introduction

This topic covers the requirements for extended supervision induction, additional to the initial induction requirements for all sentences/orders.

When to induct

Extended supervision induction should occur at the following times:

when an offender transfers to another service centre or probation officer.

Timeframes

The offender must report within the first 72 hours of the order starting, and a home visit should be carried out within the first 48 hours of the order starting.

First induction must be completed within the first week of the extended supervision order starting. The induction may take more than one meeting.

If there are delays, the reason for the delay must be recorded in IOMS casenotes.
